GOING: S(7)

DIGGERMATE ORANGE MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3.5m 500m-300m; Cutaway Applies.  

Plenty of early pace with Tropicana's Cube and Great Flame to vie for the lead, pressured by No Pockets and She's Just A Dream. THE LEGAL FACTOR (11) was friendless in betting but found the line well to get up for third on debut last start over this distance at Dubbo. Not a great deal of depth to this so she gets her chance to break through. The obvious danger is TROPICANA'S CUBE (8) who led on debut in the same race as The Legal Factor at Dubbo 17 days ago but tired late and finished second, a neck ahead of today's rival. Sure to give a great sight again. CALMUNDI (1) hasn't been all that far away of late without threatening, the latest effort a third at a Gulargambone non-tab fixture. Each-way hope on that form. DIAMOND SUN (2) resumes. Ran his best race last prep over this course and distance when second-up. In the mix. SHE'S JUST A DREAM (10) has not raced since January 2023 so the market will be the best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looks a race in two, with a slight preference for The Legal Factor.
